Honoring the 29k+ veterans in our district this Veterans Day, —along with their families, caregivers, and friends. Your service represents the best of America, & I’m committed to fighting for the care, respect, & opportunities you deserve in Congress. Thank you. #VeteransDay

Ten days into the 2026 open enrollment period, and families are being hit with higher costs on their monthly health insurance bills because Republicans refuse to work with @HouseDemocrats.bsky.social to negotiate renewal of the ACA tax credits.

When ICE raids daycares and neighborhoods, it doesn’t make us safer—it spreads fear. Judge Ellis’s decision is a step toward accountability and basic human decency but we are far away from holding ICE accountable and to protecting families from ICE Gestapo-style tactics.

This Senate deal abandons millions who rely on ACA credits for affordable healthcare. Republicans caused this crisis—gutting Medicaid, giving billionaires $4T, and shutting down the gov for 40 days. This fight isn't over; @housedemocrats.bsky.social will keep fighting.

Last month, I stopped by Strugglebeard Bakery, a small business in Hyde Park. I spoke with Quinton, a retired Army veteran, about how trade and tax changes are shaping the future for local entrepreneurs. Thank you for your service and your work in Hyde Park!

What happened at this Chicago daycare is terrifying. No child should watch armed agents storm their classroom. No parent should wonder if drop-off is safe. I’m demanding accountability from DHS & ICE because our communities deserve safety, not fear. 📽️ Credit: AP NEWS

It’s Day 40 of the Republican shutdown, the longest in US history. Republicans have been on vacation for 51 days. Families are missing paychecks, SNAP benefits are delayed, and healthcare costs keep climbing. It’s time to put people before politics.

I’m thrilled to welcome Dunkin’ and Jimmy John’s to Pullman! These new businesses mean more jobs, more food options, and more opportunities for families on the far South Side. When we invest in our neighborhoods, we build stronger communities.

A federal judge ruled that detainees at the Broadview Ice Facility must get enough food, water, and space. It shouldn’t take a court order for people to be treated humanely. I’ll keep fighting to end Operation Midway Blitz and hold ICE accountable.

Parents are opening empty fridges and wondering what to cook with nothing left. SNAP is delayed. Paychecks are frozen. Healthcare costs are on the rise. This is President Trump's impact on Americans.

One in four residents in our district are struggling to put food on the table as President Trump refuses to fully fund SNAP. The Emmaus Community is filling that gap with compassion and care, making sure families don’t go hungry. I’m grateful for their leadership and service.

Families cannot afford this Republican healthcare crisis. It’s already too expensive to be sick in this country, and it’s about to get worse. People’s healthcare bills will increase more than 200%. Republicans prioritize politics over the welfare of the people. That’s unacceptable.

Federal agents told to “go hard” on peaceful protesters are firing tear gas near children and journalists in Chicago. That’s not public safety. It’s an abuse of power. No one should have to live in fear of their government. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

The Public Service Loan Forgiveness program honors service over profit. It tells nurses, teachers, & first responders that their years of dedication matter. Trump’s decision to end this program isn’t about policy—it’s about punishing people who serve our communities over chasing profit.

It shouldn’t take a federal judge to tell Sec. Noem and President Trump that people deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. The judge called the Broadview ICE Facility a “prison.” I am demanding answers—and for immediate change. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

SNAP benefits are NOT a “handout.” SNAP feeds 42 million Americans, including children, veterans, seniors, and people with disabilities. President Trump: Pay attention to 42 million Americans instead of political games.

Thank you to Speaker Emerita @pelosi.house.gov for your historic leadership and unwavering service. You’ve shown generations of women what it means to know their power and use it to build a better America.

Republicans shut down the government, but my office is still open. Dealing with federal agencies can be tough. That's why my Constituent Services team steps in to smooth the path. We act as your liaison and cut through the red tape to get you the answers and resources you deserve.

Open enrollment started this week; millions of Americans are finding out just how much their premiums skyrocketed because Republicans will let ACA tax credits expire. President Trump & Republicans are responsible for this healthcare crisis. abcnews.go.com/US/aca-obama...

Families are struggling to pay their bills, put food on the table, and afford healthcare. Yet President Trump is refurbishing a new jet, taking golf trips, and sending money to Argentina to bail them out. What about hardworking Americans?

SNAP feeds families, veterans, seniors, and people with disabilities. In my district, one in four people rely on SNAP to make ends meet. Instead of releasing the funds, Trump is deepening the crisis—and hunger hurts everyone, from farmers to grocery store employees.

Federal agents crashed into a woman’s car, pulled her out at gunpoint, and forced her into a minivan. She was held for hours, then released without charges or explanation. Chicagoans say ICE is out of control. But President Trump says he wants more.

Happy Native American Heritage Month! This November, we honor American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and all Indigenous peoples nationwide. I am committed to recognizing their enduring achievements and vital contributions to our country.

House Republicans have been on vacation for over 34 days, which likely explains why Speaker Johnson missed the memo about President Trump pardoning Changpeng Zhao, founder of Binance. Trump’s family, by the way, has benefited millions of dollars from Binance.

President Trump refuses to fully fund SNAP, even after two court orders. He plans to fund it partially at his convenience instead of fully & immediately. Partial funding isn’t enough—families, vets, seniors, & people with disabilities deserve full access to benefits.

President Trump wants more ICE raids. I’ve seen agents point guns at people, deploy tear gas, zip-tie kids, and tear families apart, but to him, that’s not enough. Sec. Noem and President Trump are using fear to terrorize whole cities.

Families shouldn’t have to worry about losing healthcare because Republicans refuse to do their job. Republicans are dragging us through this reckless shutdown instead of working with us to protect affordable care. Now, they’re making it hurt as much as possible by suspending SNAP.

Republicans can’t claim to stand for “law and order” while hiding the Epstein Files. Real justice means truth—regardless of who it implicates. The victims deserve justice. Americans deserve transparency.

Trump says he’s going after “the worst of the worst.” But his ICE raids are tearing apart Chicago’s workforce — from hospitality to manufacturing. ICE isn’t targeting criminals; they’re targeting hardworking, taxpaying people. That’s not justice. It’s cruelty.

It’s been 33 days since the government shut down. Speaker Johnson still refuses to bring the House back to work, swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva, or meet with Democrats to protect affordable healthcare. Instead, he’s rubber-stamping Trump’s plan to gut food assistance.

Because of Republican inaction, a family in Illinois could pay $8,533 more for health insurance. Families shouldn’t have to pay higher monthly bills just because Republicans refuse to do their jobs. I’ll keep fighting to lower costs and make healthcare affordable again.

Reckless. Dangerous. Un-American. ICE’s Gestapo-style tactics in Chicago are endangering families. I’ll keep fighting for oversight, accountability, and dignity for every person in our community.

President Trump and his Congressional Republicans are playing political games with your healthcare. Due to Republican inaction, a 45-year-old Illinois couple could pay $2,571 more for healthcare next year. That’s not leadership; that’s cruelty.

You can’t feed your kids with excuses. You can’t pay bills with empty promises. 32 days into the Republican shutdown, and families are paying the price while Republicans offer nothing but excuses and empty promises.

At Trump’s direction, USDA Secretary Rollins is illegally suspending SNAP. 42 million Americans rely on SNAP to put food on the table. That’s: 📍 16 million children 📍 8 million seniors 📍 1.2 million veterans They’re all at risk of losing food assistance tomorrow.

Families waiting on SNAP can still get help. Food banks are stepping up, but it’s not enough. President Trump needs to release the emergency funds NOW.

Healthcare costs shouldn’t double because of politics. But at Trump’s direction, Republicans refused to act—and now a 60-year-old Illinois couple could pay $16,637 more for coverage. That’s simply not right.

Happy Halloween 🎃 Republicans are serving up a real fright—cuts to SNAP, higher healthcare costs, and a never-ending shutdown. To top it off, their Big Ugly Law is the main act of this year’s horror show. All tricks. No treats.

SNAP provides 9 meals for every 1 meal given by a food bank. But Trump refuses to use $5 billion in emergency funds to feed families, suspending SNAP. Food banks, which are already overwhelmed, will be pushed to their breaking point. In the richest country in the world, Trump is simply being cruel.

Open Enrollment is around the corner for millions of Illinois families, many of whom are bracing for higher costs because Republicans refuse to extend ACA tax credits. Have you gotten your notice in the mail? I’d like to hear from you. Share the impact of these cost changes for you or your family:

Families in my district are still shaken by Trump’s Gestapo-style ICE raids. Parents are being taken from their jobs. Children woke up in the night to helicopters above their homes. No family should live in fear of being torn apart or be afraid to step outside their home.

Families are bracing for higher health costs and lost SNAP benefits…while President Trump builds a $300 million ballroom. The American people are calling for answers. Got voicemail instead. Hardworking Americans deserve better than this.

Former Deputy Grayson was found guilty of killing Sonya Massey, an unarmed Black woman experiencing a mental health crisis who had called 911 for help. Real justice would’ve been Sonya Massey alive today. We need true police reform that builds trust in our communities. apnews.com/article/sean...

Nearly 2 million Illinoisans won’t know where to get food this weekend because President Trump refuses to fund SNAP. This is on top of his Big, Ugly Law that guts SNAP.

Genesis is just 19, raising her sister alone after their mom was detained and kidnapped by ICE. Her words moved us all: “Her absence is tearing our family apart.” Genesis’s bravery is beyond what any 19 year old should be called to do. I’m fighting to reunite her family. 💔✊🏾

Rep.-elect Grijalva won her race by nearly 40 points. She’s here, ready to serve. It’s been over a month, but Speaker Johnson refuses to swear her in. Why? Because he’s hiding the Epstein Files.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social have warned Republicans that Americans’ monthly insurance bills will go through the roof — but they don’t care. Republicans have refused to even talk about extending the ACA tax credits. www.chicagobusiness.com/health-care/...

Nineteen Members of Congress came to Chicago to demand accountability from Trump and ICE. We stand united with our immigrant communities and won’t back down from the fight for justice. Grateful to @jayapal.house.gov for leading this important discussion.

Spent time with our Will County farmers 🌾 Illinois farmers feed our nation — but Trump’s reckless tariffs and bailouts for Argentina are leaving them behind. I’ll keep fighting for fair trade, open markets, and real support for the people who put food on our tables. 🚜💪🏾

💰 Trump found money for Argentina, a ballroom, and even a $230 million payout for himself —but not for families who rely on SNAP to put food on the table. Trump doesn’t care for the 42 million Americans who need SNAP, including nearly 2 million Illinoisans. It’s shameful.
